So, we now have Mumble, Discord and Matrix, right? (Well, to be fair, we hard IRC before).

It's the first time I hear about this protocol. It looks quite nice, and if it enables a variety of web clients to run a modern chat, why not?
I wish there was some matrix client built into the KDE IM functionality. Well, maybe time for a feature request/patch?

Another solution would be to use APNGs for Firefox, and another one for chrome (I don't remember which). Of course, it has its downsides, and I don't like animations that much.

Quoting: Leeo97oneOn Steam, we can already choose what platforms we want to show:

https://store.steampowered.com/account/preferences/ (at the bottom)

To be fair, it's supposed to work, but the steam client doesn't always respect this setting, especially in big picture mode. Plus, some client updates randomly break it quite often, in my experience (though it seems to be OK right now).

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIn the Windows version of the Steam client, I can see the option for to move the game to another folder.
In the Linux version I can't see that option.

Well, I have it. Are you sure the game is installed?

Edit: to clarify, just in case: game properties -> local files -> move install folder. And you have to have different paths set up in your settings.

Should we jump on the mumble server as well for rocket league?

Liam, I just noticed on a comment that the bookmark button gets replaced by { :bookmark} when not logged in.

Edit: and the text by the button inside comments, including code blocks (added a space before the column to avoid this)

:D

Quoting: riusma

Quoting: SchattenspiegelGreat, but and now the tray menu is broken...

Quoting: facelessYeap :( noticed that too in my ubuntu 16.04 machine.

In which way? Seems to work as before (but I don't use it that much) on my PC (Ubuntu 16.04)... :\

The steam client still has a lot of things to improve, but it's getting there.
I think it would however work a lot better if it was 64-bits, as issues like this one could be avoided a bit more easily.

Nice to see those improvements going into stable, but isn't it a bit early? The latest beta with the ability to move files hasn't been around for a long time... I would have expected a feature freeze at some point.

Quoting: EikeI feel you missed a joke here.

Can you explain the joke? Maybe isn't funny in my country.

I will do my best, but there's probably someone who will do a better job at it than myself.
Let's see how the original post went:
1. Paradox allows controlling immigration policies
2. Some people assume that this means they are pro or anti-immigration
3. Observation: Paradox also allows controlling different policies in their games, that amount to religious genocide, cultural assimilation, genocide of indigenous peoples, colonialism, free trade, protectionism, as well as other policies
4. Therefore, following the same reasoning as 2) we can infer that they support (or are against) all those policies as well
5. Now, assume the position of a anti-Marxist person (but this could have been anything)
6. Cherry-pick a position you oppose among the ones you assume they take
7. Fire: they are Marxist loons. Attack them like they were attacked by believer of 2) to make blatantly obvious how nonsensical this reasoning is. Basically, people that fit into 2) are just making fools of themselves. This statement is supposed to be ironic.

To elaborate on 5, I will attempt to rephrase it. It works best if you use common/known arguments, and even better if those are publicly discredited, but you can really just put anything.
something has to be done about these religious zealots.
something has to be done about these racist scum.
something has to be done about these feminist vandals.
something has to be done about these capitalist bastards.
something has to be done about these fascists morons.
something has to be done about these Marxist loons.
something has to be done about these nazi jerks.

Then, I am not sure I got the joke correctly, and it was only midly amusing (that's irony, after all).

@Arkona: regardless of one's opinion, I still think it makes sense in a strategy game such as this one. That's strategy. And nothing is black or white; you have to evaluate the benefits/costs of choosing either option. Actually, I think that would make a good definition for "strategy".

Meh, I don't see the problem either. Refugees can cause some problems, but also bring opportunities (think about Einstein, for example). I think that's a very good fit for a strategy game, especially in one where diplomacy has an important place.
